* ''Film/RevengeOfTheSith'': The 41st Elite Corps, led by Master Yoda, is sent to Kashyyyk to repel [[MemeticMutation the droid attack on the Wookiees]]. But then Order 66 is issued and the clones, Gree and Jek, turn against Yoda, though he beheads them before they could lay a shot into him due to the Jedi Master [[MySignificanceSenseIsTingling sensing the deaths of his fellow Jedi via the Force]]. Chewbacca and Tarfful help Yoda escape Kashyyyk, and despite the Separatist forces under General Linwodo [[LetNoCrisisGoToWaste taking advantage of Order 66 putting the Republic forces in disarray]], the Clones under Faie regrouped and defeated the droids, though most of the Wookiees are captured by the clones and enslaved by the newly-created Galactic Empire.

* The U.S.M. ''Valor'' in ''VideoGame/DeadSpace1''. Initially believed to be on a rescue mission, it is later heavily implied that they were full aware of how dire the situation was on the U.S.G. ''Ishimura'' and that they would have rather nuked the whole ship than even bother with trying to save anyone.



** In ''The Frozen Throne'' mission "Flight from Lordaeron", Arthas and what's left of his army flees from the capitol when the dreadlords revolt against him. He is met by Sylvanas Windrunner but she instead massacres his army and almost kills him, if not for Kel'thuzad and his necromancers arriving in the nick of time.

* ''VideoGame/Persona5'' opens up with an inversion. The protagonist acts as the cavalry and rescues a woman from a drunk harasser, only for him to pull out some dirt he has on her and convince her to testify that you randomly beat him up.

Not only that, later in the game you net yourself a party member in the form of Akechi, who pretends he's helping you because he worries for Sae. Beat Sae's Palace or not, and he's all too willing to put a bullet through your skull.

* ''ComicBook/SecretInvasion:'' Partway through, as Ms. Marvel and the Initiative are fighting Skrulls, Nick Fury and his Secret Warriors pop in to kick Skrull ass, and rescue the Initiative kids. And then Fury leaves Carol to be mobbed by Skrulls, thinking she's one of them (she isn't, by the way).

And then Fury and Young Avengers from being executed (a little too late to save Geldoff of the Initative). Then, once Yo-Yo's grabbed all the kids, Nick shoots Ms. Marvel, figuring she's a Skrull, and leaves Carol her to be mobbed by Skrulls, thinking she's one of them (she isn't, by the way).Super-Skrulls. Note that thanks to her origin, Carol is part-Kree, the last person anyone'd suspect of being a Skrull. But, that's Nick Fury for you.
